Reference Manual for the Model FR114P, FR114W and FM114P Cable/DSL ProSafe Firewall 3. Router's MAC Address: This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the firewall on the Internet port. If your ISP allows access by only one specific PC's Ethernet MAC address, select "Use this MAC address". The firewall will then capture and use the MAC address of the PC that you are now using. You must be using the one PC that is allowed by the ISP. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your PC when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC address of that PC. This feature allows your firewall to masquerade as that PC by using its MAC address. 4.
